Treasure Island Resort & Casino

Erin is a saint. I cannot say enough good things about her and our experience with her planning our wedding!! She put up with my many, many emails that were often times paragraphs and handful of lists long! She was always quick with a well thought out response and plenty of information for us to think through. She was extremely wonderful to work through especially when our tasting kept getting kicked out due to COVID restrictions, she was always quick to check in with an update and was always advocating for her couples to have the most “normal” wedding that they could have! She was so knowledgeable and was such a comforting presence to have throughout our wedding planning. When we went to TI for our tour my now husband asked if we could see the hotel suites so we could have an easier time deciding which ones we wanted to use, something that clearly is not part of the normal tour, but she didn’t even hesitate! She took us right up there and let us tour the rooms that were open so we had a better idea of what we wanted! It helped us make such an informative decision and was clearly above and beyond the call of duty. When we left after that tour my husband looked at me and we knew this was where we wanted to get married. We had been searching for months to find a perfect venue as I wanted something by the water, but we didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a Saturday summer wedding. Those were our non-negotiables and we were beginning to think we’d never find anything until I stumbled upon TI at a wedding fair. While they have plenty of options to get married in the casino we opted to get married on the beach down in the marina and have our ceremony at Paradise Cove just off of the marina. They provided a shuttle for our guests back and forth from the hotel so that no one needed to walk, the whole experience was wonderful. We were able to have our rehearsal dinner in the bowling alley with the private room in the back and it was everything that we wanted it to be and more! Our experience with the hotel and wedding block was 10/10. Erin was great about communicating the number of rooms in our block, the types of rooms in our block, the prices (which were pretty good), and our deadline to book those rooms. We weren’t able to book as soon as we liked as TI was closed for a bit but they were always helpful to us and our guests when they called wondering if the reservations had been opened yet. Once they were open we had no issues getting rooms booked and were even able to add additional rooms if we needed! We had rooms in the Eagle and the Wolf tower and our guests seemed to like them. The only downside was the pool had not opened back up at the time of the wedding due to staffing issues but they were more than happy and willing to help us adjust our departure date a day early. We had originally planned to have brunch and a pool day in the swim-up bar watching baseball the Sunday after but with it not being opened we opted to go to a different hotel elsewhere in the city. They were very helpful in canceling those extra nights and didn’t give anyone a hard time which was greatly appreciated! The food was incredible and honestly FAR better than we were expecting from a casino. Our guests still rave about how great the food was. We did a couple of appetizers during our cocktail hour, had the dinner, and then finished with some late night pizza for anyone who was still dancing and celebrating!

We used them for our hotel and also rehearsal dinner and Erin was so fantastic and helpful to work with! The dinner room and meal was exactly what I was hoping for- so delicious! Also, staff was helpful and responsive. I wish hotel block could have been bigger but there are so many rooms there guests can stay in other wings. We stayed in Wolf towers and loved it.

Erin was great to work with and the food was great. I am giving 3 stars because I want to warn all couples who are considering having their wedding here and have friends and family that like to drink to reconsider having their wedding elsewhere. They apparently have “strict liquor” laws which means that they will cut off your guests without any reason and because they can. None of my guests were outrageously intoxicated or acting absurd in anyway and about 20 of them were cut off before 10 PM. The bartenders name the cut everyone off was Debra, the other bartender was a sweetheart and knew this other lady was being ridiculous. Her manager came down to Paradise Cove and my husband and I even complained to him about how rude she was treating our guests and bridal party and he didn’t care and said everything is to the bartenders discretion. Most of my guests had no other choice but to leave early because of this bartender. This is not anything I wish for any bride to have to deal with on their wedding night.

We got married at the beach and had our ceremony at Paradise Cove. Overall, our wedding was amazing. The venue looked great with minimal decor and the beach and surrounding area pictures were amazing. Food was great and our guests were shocked that Paradise Cove even existed. The only issues we had were directly with the hotel. They somehow screwed up our reservation at check in and we were asked to switch suites halfway through the day saturday while we were all getting ready. It was all figured out eventually and we did not have to move but it was added stress that was unnecessary. We also had an issue with the shuttles, it went smoothly until I was left stranded at the hotel and ended up being 10 minutes late. I would recommend this venue as it was cost effective and a great spot but also note that double and triple checking everything at the hotel might help reduce stress.
